These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the online game platform Johren Games, available at (https://www.johren.net and https://www.johren.games) (the “Site”). The Site and all services available through the Site shall be collectively referred to as the “Service.” The Service is provided by Johren. (“Johren,” “we,” “us” or “our”). Please read these Terms carefully as they constitute a legal agreement between you and Johren. By accessing the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms, and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with, or cannot comply with, these Terms, you may not use the Service.
Please note the arbitration provision set forth below, which requires you to arbitrate any claims you may have against Johren on an individual basis. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
In order to use the Service, you must be at least 16 years old. The Service is not intended for children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
In order to use the Service, you must create an account. You agree to provide truthful and accurate information during the account creation process. You also agree to maintain the accuracy of any submitted information. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we reserve the right to terminate your account and suspend your use of the Service.
You are responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your account password and will notify us of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your account. You agree that you are responsible for all acts or omissions that occur on your account while your password is being used.
Our Privacy Policy describes what personal information is collected about you and how that personal information is used and disclosed. By using the Service, you acknowledge you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.
Billing: Your account gives you access to certain services, software and content available through the Service. We offer games that are free of charge (“Free to Play”), as well as paid downloadable games. In the case of paid downloadable games, you will make a one-time payment at the time of downloading. In Free to Play games as well as paid downloadable games, you may have the opportunity to make additional in-game purchases to acquire features intended to augment the game experience.
Payment: As discussed, you will be required to pay for certain games and in-game purchases. When you provide payment information, you are providing it to our third party payment processor. By providing any payment information, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card or account associated with that payment method and you authorize Johren/the relevant third party processor to charge you for any fees incurred by you. Our third party payment processor will enable your payment of the applicable charges, which will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law, for services, software and content available through the Service. All charges will be enabled by our third party payment processor using the payment method designated in your account, after which you will receive a receipt by email.
You are responsible for all charges incurred through your account, whether by you or otherwise. If you cancel your account, we reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs incurred before cancellation.
Virtual Currency: You acknowledge that in-game purchases and access to paid downloadable games will require fictional credits or “credits” (“Virtual Currency”). To access a paid downloadable game or make an in-game purchase, your account balance must contain the requisite amount of Virtual Currency.
There are two types Virtual Currency used on the Service. Johren Credits (“JC”) are Virtual Currency that will be available for purchase via the payment method described above (see “Payment”). JC can be exchanged for access to paid downloadable games and, in some cases, to make in-game purchases of virtual items for use within particular games (“Virtual Items”). In other cases, JC may be exchanged for Virtual Currency specific to a particular game available on the Service (“In-Game Virtual Currency”). In-Game Virtual Currency may, in turn, be exchanged to access Virtual Items within the relevant game. The amount of Virtual Currency required to access any game or make any in-game purchase will be identified in connection with the relevant game/in-game purchase at the time of purchase.
JC purchased through the Service will be issued by Johren. In-Game Virtual Currency acquired through the Service will be issued by the owner/operator of the particular game, which may be Johren or a third-party affiliate.
EXPIRATION OF IN-GAME VIRTUAL CURRENCY: FOR SOME GAMES AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICE, IN-GAME VIRTUAL CURRENCY WILL BE VALID ONLY FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. UNUSED IN-GAME VIRTUAL CURRENCY ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH GAMES WILL BE PERMANENTLY FORFEITED WITHOUT ANY COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY KIND TO YOU. GAMES ON THE SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO DIFFERENT PERIODS OF VALIDITY, WHICH WILL BE INDICATED AT THE POINT OF PURCHASE. BY ACQUIRING ANY IN-GAME VIRTUAL CURRENCY ON THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THE APPLICABLE EXPIRATION PERIOD (IF ANY) AND FURTHER AGREE THAT JOHREN AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU IN ANY WAY RESULTING FROM THE EXPIRATION OF IN-GAME VIRTUAL CURRENCY. JC WILL NOT EXPIRE AND WILL NOT INCUR FEES FOR NON-USE.
Additional Limitations and Restrictions on Virtual Currency: By using the Service, you acknowledge that Virtual Currency may be used exclusively within the Service to access paid downloadable games and to make in-game purchases. You recognize that Virtual Currency represents a limited license right governed solely under these Terms and is not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from Johren, its affiliates, or any other person or entity at any time. Other than a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license to use Virtual Currency in connection with the Service, you agree that you have no right, title or ownership in or to any Virtual Currency.
YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL ITEMS HAVE NO CASH VALUE AND THAT NEITHER JOHREN NOR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO EXCHANGE YOUR VIRTUAL CURRENCY OR VIRTUAL ITEMS FOR ANYTHING OF VALUE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, REAL CURRENCY, AND THAT IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS TERMINATED, SUSPENDED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED OR IF YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS THE SERVICE IS TERMINATED, THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY, VIRTUAL ITEMS AND YOUR ACCOUNT SHALL HAVE NO VALUE.
All purchases of Virtual Currency and Virtual Items are final and non-refundable. By purchasing Virtual Currency or exchanging Virtual Currency for Virtual Items, you are confirming that you want the Virtual Currency/Virtual Item immediately credited to your account. Aside from the authorized exchange of Virtual Currency for access to paid downloadable games or Virtual Items on the Service, you understand that you are prohibited from transferring, trading, or selling any Virtual Currency or Virtual Items to anyone, including among other users of the Service. Johren has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Items as it sees fit, in its sole discretion.
Retail Purchases: We may also offer game play through the Service in connection with retail versions or original equipment manufacturer versions of our products. If such is the case, your game may be activated by using the code accompanying these purchases.
Refund Policy: Our refund policy is as specified below.
If you purchase a pre-order product of a paid downloadable game, you may request for a refund at any time before the product’s scheduled release date. After the product has been released, you may request for a refund only for products purchased during the pre-order period, “within 7 days, including the pre-order day itself, and if the product has not been downloaded”.
Due to exchange rates, fees, etc., the refund amount of the pre-order price may differ from the price at the time of pre-order confirmation. Also, for products with refund criteria stipulated and announced separately by Johren at the start of pre-orders, the refund criteria that was announced separately by Johren will be applicable. In addition, we will not provide refunds for repeated product pre-orders and refunds that were made maliciously.
We generally offer no refunds for purchases made through the Service, including purchases for Virtual Currency, except for pre-order products of paid downloadable games.
